Done! Thank you Ms. Keyes for the opportunity.

What is 'psy-phi', you ask? (psychology + philosophy) × sci-fi. Authentic therapy tools meet sci-fi’s grand questions around consciousness, belonging, & humanity. My attempt as a therapist to bridge the gap b/w evidence-based psychology and speculative storytelling.

Huge thanks to the organizers, agents, publishers, and my gloriously talented fellow writers. What an incredible community. Love from Singapore.

#DVpit, my first pitching event - what a ride. Four agents expressed interest so far for my cozy psy-phi debut, and I got to meet brilliant authors during this 12-hour marathon (an all-nighter for me). A true celebration of unity in diversity, each story with its own heart. Thank you everyone!

Love this! Has me intrigued and then some.

Word. Nothing more creative on the internet than the fanfic tags, as I have learned while 'researching'. Also, @katchowrites.bsky.social thought of Douglas Adams, too, during #preDV. But I wanted to include latest comps. Managed two agent likes so far. May the algorithms be in your favor, too!

You've been able to pull off something so meaningful, so fun, and with a sense of community. Thank you!

The most surprising thing about DVpit for me has been how strong the GIF game is for both the writers and agents involved.

I did. A part of me is proud, even if another part was a bit lost.

I am rooting for this, so hard!

Always had a soft corner for chai-lovers. Thank you!

000

BRING IT ON. I literally can't wait to get my hands on it. I was sold on the first two lines.

Thank you. This is very encouraging, Joey!

Love the comps. The world does need more murder mysteries in the SF world. All the best!

Thank you! There's a kindness-fueled revolution BUT with a snarky alien-AI narrating it, on his way to sentience.

Count me in. I am self-confessed Skyward fanatic. I need this!

As an AI he does believe he is statistically funnier than average.

Thank you! He's trained on Reddit threads, YouTube comments, and advice columns, too. But AO3 holds a special place in his memory banks.

Love this premise. Am definitely hungry for more.

Thank you! There is a teaser of a banter between the two leads on my pinned post. It explains the vibe better. :)

Besides the snark, caring for his found family, and obsession with overdramatic media.

Titanic in Space? I am sold!

I know, right! A good chai always heals something and warms everything else. All the best, Mihika!

Thank you. This protagonist geeks over Clark Kent and spices. Low-key obsessed with both.

This is the kind of fantasy I didn't know I needed, and now I want to read it ASAP.

120

I want to know everything about this protagonist!

Thank you, to you too. Rooting for you, Anthony. Quirky LGBT fiction is what the world needs, now and forever!

Thank you, cool and heart'warm'ing is a nice balance I'd totally accept! All the best to you too, Rajani.
